Our Advantage

Edmonton Christian School educates students to play their role in God’s story. Because we believe that Jesus is Lord over all of life, our schools integrate faith, learning and service into the entire curriculum. The Edmonton Society for Christian Education was incorporated in 1946 by members of the Reformed Christian community as a non-profit charitable organization to further the cause of Christian Education. In 1949 the Society established an interdenominational Christian day school in Edmonton.
